Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled apple
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, canola oil, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir just until moistened, taking care not to overmix to ensure a tender bread texture.
- Add Fruits and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped apples, rhubarb, and walnuts evenly throughout the batter.
- Prepare Pans: Grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans and transfer the batter equally into both.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Serve the bread warm with butter or ice cream for a delicious treat.
- This bread can also be sliced and used as a unique sandwich base for breakfast or dessert.
- Ensure rhubarb is fully thawed and drained if using frozen to avoid excess moisture.
- Store wrapped tightly to keep bread moist for several days.
